I thought I'd changed that. Gimme a moment.

[Rolepgeek]

Added traits, changed character description. I'll try to put in a mech description too.(I have never not rolled Crocodilian Semi-Erect for posture. It's ridiculous, and I'm barely sure how that would work for a biped.)

[Flying Dice]

So you mentioned upgrading our mechs, how is that going to function? Ferex, will we earn credits and be able to spend them between missions either for various structural/systems upgrades, or to buy alternate weapons, &c?

[GiglameshDespair]

Oh, 10ebbor? According to that table, Gilgamesh is not only firing 128 missiles, he's firing ones the size of those old ww2 artillery rockets(at least the ones they put on planes, like the HVARs). Goddamn that's a MMM

DID SOMEONE ASK FOR MISSILES
BECAUSE I HAVE MISSILES
_{also gigla, not gilga}

Hmm. I'm wondering if I should change the tea kettle to something else. I was kinda hoping there would be some kind of minor benefit to it somehow.

Replace it with ... radar stealth plating, please.

Also, mech name: Rocket Raven

Chicken walker style, mech, I'd assume.

I'm not entirely sure , so far, no credit system is in the work.

It's not because there's no benefit listed that there's no benefit to it. I'm focusing on getting the game running, preferably before today, so not everything is listed.

[GiglameshDespair]

roger that. Never mind, then.

[Rolepgeek]

I figure looking at my doom-cannon's stats should be fun. Maybe not as doomy as Giglamesh's Macross, but still fairly 'oh look I have a fully automatic sniper rifle'.

Does the decimal place matter or anything? Because if so, it's 11.1mm and 10.3mm respectively for my guns.

Edit: I'm surprised you didn't go with something like Missile Reaver for your Mech's name, Giglamesh.

For when I eventually do get a spot, I imagined my mech to be made up of parts scavenged from other fallen mechs, with no particular theme

[10ebbor10]

Spoiler: Angel Carlson (click to show/hide)

Appearance: A young woman with spiky blue hair, wearing a frilly blue something.
Biography: Angel was the granddaughter of a famous pilot for mechs, while her father was well-known for designing them. She was a normal enough girl until her city was attacked and desperately needed defenders. She wound up in the cockpit of an advanced mech and went into battle without anyone noticing. She did well, thanks to playing mecha video games, and joined the military shortly thereafter.

Reflexes: 20
Piloting: 22
Engineering: 6
Targeting: 9
Communications: 3

Trait: Born Lucky (Whenever a roll indicates that Angel herself is injured, reroll and take the better result. This has no effect on damage to her mech, it only protects the pilot.)

Jump jets? Crazy. Tea kettle? Stupid. Let's reroll.

[GiglameshDespair]

Well, I did think of calling it something like Rocket Raven, but the sort-of sarcastic names really appeal to me. Polite Discussion, Two for flinching, I Say Hello With Missiles... hmm. That last one is nice, but possibly a bit too long.

Ahh, hell, I actually quite like Rocket Raven. Let's go with that then.

[TalonisWolf]

PTW

[10ebbor10]

In hind sight, dumping the finished sheets all over the thread was not a smart idea.

[Again_Dejavu]

Just link to them in the OP

[10ebbor10]

I'm going to compile them in a single post of the gamethread. It just means that I'll have to look for them again.

[Rolepgeek]

I went with Touchscreen Controls, by the way. It fits with the hyper-advanced cutting-edge theme I'm going for with the Strider. Besides, I can attach IR stealth plating later, from the sounds of it, along with rockets(every proper mech needs at least some rockets).
